We rode down the highway for what seemed like hours. I was hanging on tightly to Daryl the whole time.
Finally Rick pulled over and signaled everyone to come over to him. I looked around and saw a lot of cars in the middle of the highway. There was dead walkers inside of most of them.
Once everyone got over to Rick he started talking, "It's gettin' dark out and we don't have anywhere else to go, the RV is broke so we gotta fix it. We need to stay here for now. It looks safe enough for now, get comfortable" Rick said then walked to his car to get his, Lori and Carl's stuff ready for the night. I walked over to Daryl and handed him his cross-bow.
"Thanks for letting me ride with you" I said as I handed him the cross-bow. "Welcome shorty" He replied and gave me a small smile. I returned it and turned around to see Shane standing behind me.
"Hey" He said. "Hi" I replied then started to walk over to Rick to get my things, but Shane grabbed my arm and spun me back around toward me. "What do you want Shane?" I asked him and he looked into my eyes and kissed my cheek, "You" He replied. I just stood there until Daryl came over and grabbed me. "That's enough Shane, I think it's very clear she likes me and I like her too" Daryl said then I looked to him my mouth dropped.
Daryl just said he liked me back! But Shane likes me too! I thought to myself. "Well it's her choice!" Daryl yelled at Shane then grabbed me and pulled me away from Shane and helped me unload my stuff from Rick's car. "Ya sleeping in the RV?" Daryl asked. "Yea probably, Shane's sleeping in Rick's car" I replied. "I'm staying in there too. Carol and Sophia are staying in the other car together. Dale and T-dog are taking watch, Lori, Carl and Rick are taking the big bed in the RV and Andrea is staying the in RV" Daryl told me. "Awesome" I replied and started to walk away. I heard him sigh so I turned back around and walked back over to him grabbed his face and kissed him.
I pulled away and he was in shock, and so was I.
I just did that I thought to myself. I looked around and no one else saw so I turned around and started to walk to the RV.
I walked in and sat down on the couch. Is this what I want? I thought to myself. Does Daryl hate me now? I don't even know if he really likes me. He said he did but I don't know if I believe it. But Shane... I just don't know.
I sat and thought awhile then grabbed my stuff and unpacked it, though not all of it just in case.
I was unpacking when someone grabbed my waist and pulled me to the ground, under the table in the RV.
I tried to scream, but they put a hand over my mouth and I looked to see who it was and it was Daryl. "What are you doing?" I asked him and he put a finger to his mouth, telling me to be quiet. "What?" I whispered. He pointed out the window and mouthed 'walkers'. Shit, I thought to myself.
Daryl put his arms around me to comfort me and I put my head on his stomach.
We layed there for about ten minutes until he got up to check and see if there were anymore walkers, but quickly ducked back down.
They weren't gone yet.
He layed back down and we stayed there for about five more minutes. He tapped my back and I looked up at him, "If we die right here, I want you to know something" He whispered in my ear. "What's that?" I whispered back. He grabbed my face and kissed me, I kissed him back. We kept kissing until we heard a scream.
I pulled away from him and ran outside, gun in my hand, Daryl was right behind me.
I could hear Carol sobbing, "Sophia no!" I looked into the woods and saw Rick Running into the woods after Sophia.
I ran over to Carol to comfort her, Lori ran over too. "She.. She's gone! She's gone!" Carol kept saying over and over again.
"No she isn't Carol, Rick will find her. It's okay honey, It's okay" Me and Lori would say to her to keep her calm, but It would never work.
It started getting darker and most everyone went to their beds except me, Lori and Carol. Rick still hadn't come back.
We sat on top of the RV with Dale and T-dog till Rick came out of the woods without Sophia. Carol ran over to him and he just shook his head and said, "I didn't find her, we have to stay here. I know she's alive. I hid her in bushes and lead the walkers away. I told her to come back here when she was safe. We'll set up a search party first ting tomorrow morning" Rick said then out his hand on Carol's shoulder, "We'll find her Carol, I promise you" Rick said then walked up to the RV.
"I'm headed in too, you guys should too. It's not safe" I said then walked up to the RV. I opened the door and Daryl was laying on the couch. Andrea was on the other one and there was no where for me. I started to get settled on the floor, when Daryl said, "Come in here with me shorty" He said and I looked up ad him and he had made room for me next to him on the couch. I sat up and said, "Well It's not awkward?" "No it's fine, if it makes you uncomfortable I'll sleep on the floor" Daryl replied. "I guess it's okay" I said then got on the couch and turned away from him. "Ya know what would make this less awkward?" He asked me, "What's that?" I asked him "If you were my girl" He said and I turned to him. "So... are you asking me or just saying it?" I asked and he said, "I know I'm not the ideal person to be with, and I've never had a relationship and the world has gone to shit, but I know one thing. And that is, I wanna be with you, I want you to be my girl" Daryl said. I looked at him and kissed him softly and said, "Yes" He smiled at me and I smiled back and put my head on his stomach and he put his arms around me. "That's better" I heard him whisper.
I fell asleep quickly after that.
